List of Ingredients




1 (8-ounce) round gouda cheese
2 small roma tomatoes, cored and diced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
1 loaf baguette bread, sliced and toasted

Recipe



Remove coating from gouda cheese and carefully scoop out center, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell: set shell aside.

Coarsely chop scooped-out cheese into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl; mix in tomatoes and basil. Cook, uncovered, in microwave oven on high for 1 minute. Stir and cook another 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds or until cheese is bubbling.

Remove from microwave oven; pour cheese mixture into shell, pushing into corners to fill shell. Serve hot with toastes baguette slices.

Alternative: Omit tomatoes and basil. Combine 1 tablespoon chopped green chiles, 1 chopped green onion, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin with the chopped cheese. Proceed as above.
